contain person- and household-level information from the "long-form"
questionnaires distributed to a sample of the population enumerated in
the 1980 Census. The B Sample contains information for each state, and
for households and persons residing in metropolitan areas that are too
small to be separately identified and/or that cross state boundaries.
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) and county groups are
defined differently here than in the A Sample [CENSUS OF POPULATION AND
HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE (A SAMPLE):
5-PERCENT SAMPLE (ICPSR 8101)]. Most states cannot be identified in
their entirety. As a percentage of the l-Percent Public Use Microdata
Sample (B Sample) [CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED
STATES]: PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE (B SAMPLE): 1-PERCENT SAMPLE
(ICPSR 8170)], this file constitutes a 1-in-1000 sample, and contains
all household- and person-level variables from the original B Sample.

heating equipment, taxes and mortgage costs, number of children, and
household and family income. Person-level variables include sex, age,
marital status, race, Spanish origin, income, occupation,
